With an approval rating of 8% and on track to be the least productive Congress in modern times, the Republican-controlled House has nevertheless been busy. Here's some of what they've been doing:
1. Endless hearings and harassment of administrative officials by Darrell Issa and his Government Oversight Committee -- mostly about manufactured non-scandals.
2. They have voted 40 times to repeal or defund all or parts of the Affordable Care Act, which Obama would veto if it managed to get through the senate.
3. They have voted 13 times since 2011 to bar any federal funds or contracts going to ACORN, the anti-poverty and social service organization, which disbanded in 2010. Why?
4. The majority of the mere 22 bills that have reached the president's desk for his signature have been for naming of post offices, with only a few laws of any significance passed.
And these clowns will mostly get re-elected because partisan re-districting has carved out safe seats for them. And SCOTUS' gutting of the Civil Rights Act will only make that worse.
And now they've left town for a five week (undeserved) vacation.
What gives us the temerity to instruct Egypt on how run a democracy?
